Ok, So I did some searching and I found lots of information, but I didn't really find anything that tied all of the information together. I am not new to rooting or flashing phones, but I am new to this phone. So Here is my problem. I have seen a lot of the "how to root" guides. But I haven't really seen a guide on how to know which method to use. I have a brand new phone that I got today before work. So I have no idea how to tell which root method to use. Any information regarding how to tell which method/root this thing would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Its up to you, just follow the directions. I prefer odin from pc or sfhub autoroot package. I always have pc access though.
Using either of those methods, does it matter that I just got my phone and I don't know what software is on it? What if I wanted to try an ICS ROM or something? I am just a bit apprehensive.
So more reading and I figured out that I have the EL29 what ever. So I need to do this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101
But am I right in thinking that I still need to install CWM somehow in order to flash custom ROMs? Also, does flashing a custom ROM increase the flash counter thing?

Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662295 Watch Qbking's videos - here is the one for the FF18 build [located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229 [
Take some time and read read and then read again or you will turn you device into an expensive shiny fishing lure.
If you start off with sfhub's one-clicks you really can't go wrong. He has made it dead simple and safe and provided outstanding directions.
You can then use sfhub's Autoroot package to add Agat's 'safe' recovery with CWM.
Good luck
So I see that the the initial autoroot, it doesn't increase the Odin flash counter. But flashing a custom ROM (like say I wanted to go to ICS) would increase the counter?

My friend one of the best pieces of advice I have seen here for you is too do some reading. Also why do you want to root your phone? If its for tethering you can simply install foxfi. If you want to try out different roms and tweaks then you really need to learn your phone. Developers, themers and contributors have set up thread after thread of great tutorials and answers to all your questions.
Welcome to android rooting world and you made a good choice but before I have to view another "I May Have Bricked My Phone" thread please read up and get up to speed on the craziness in here
Also to answer your question your counter only goes up when you flash an unsecure kernel through odin. Not when you use CWM

I Have rooted 3 previous phones, I just am new to this one. I Haven't done anything yet and I don't plan on it until I understand this phone better. Right now I am just kind of lost with a lot of the shorthand that is used in a lot of the threads. I am doing a ton of reading, but like I said, there are just some things that I feel aren't clarified enough for me to be comfortable just yet.
I just got a replacement phone from Sprint that I can't root. Every time I get the Hellions with BLUE flame message.

Yeah my old phone was a samsung but rooting and flashing were way different. This phone is really easy though. Don't over complicate it, just read the directions and go when ready. Don't flash anything brand new or any alpha releases, everything else out there is pretty safe if you follow directions.
Well the phone just updated to FF18. If I am not mistaken, I thought I saw somewhere something about rooting it (or flashing it) with ICS/ICS ROMs to be very risky? is this true?
hey guys im new 2 android community... ive a galaxy note 2 GT-N7100 International version bought in India. Recently ive been thinkin 2 root my device for various mods like copyin/ installing games on memory card etc... so i wanna know wat software should i use 2 mod my device?? Also i wanna know if its safe??? Ive heard that rooted devices leads to void of warranty... is that true???
thanks in advance....
You should use the wonderful Note2 ToolKit, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923956
Yes, rooting it voids your warranty. But you can flash back a stock ROM and unroot if you need to take your phone in for service.
All modifications have risks. Though rooting probably won't break your phone, an user error on your part just might, or malicious code might. You can never know that! You have to be careful and use your best judgment. Rooting is basically like logging in to a computer with an administrator account, you can change all the system settings and as a result you can really screw up your system if you are not careful.
I'm just saying all that to clarify that if you do root your device and mod it, have an accident and screw something up, it's your own fault. You need to always keep that in mind.
When you download the toolkit, the first thing you need to do is:
1) EFS backup
2) Full Nandroid backup
Do those two things first, then do whatever you want. If you have EFS and Nandroid backups you have a safety net in case something goes wrong later on.
Also: read, read, read. Read every single Note II guide and FAQ you can find here on XDA.

I just bought a T-Mobile Note 3 (N-900T) with 4.4.2 out of the box and have been looking through a billion posts trying to figure out how to root it. Some of the things I read suggest that something else might have been done first, because I'm joining in the middle of the ball game. So far I think I've found four ways to root:
1. Root de la Vega (for 4.4.2?).
2. Install TWRP (Installs Recovery and su?).
3. CF Auto Root (trips Knox?).
See how confused I am? I lost the fourth way. I can't figure out if any actually work on a new 4.4.2.
My desire is root and Recovery, no custom ROM and no Kingo/Vroot.
Comments please.

I agree with you. I have been researching this subject and still not sure what to use to ROOT. I rooted my Note 2 using Kingo Android Root and that was so simple.
Don't really know if I can use Kingo Android Root for 4.4.2?

I used CF auto root. look into something called triangle away.
I plan to keep my phone regardless, and I take care of it. There's always odin if you screw up so...

To OP - why don't you want to use Kingosoft?
I use Kingosoft, no KNOX trip, work just fine for almost 1 month now. Also, I can unroot easily if I want to. In my past experience with Samsung phones, unrooting can be as complex as rooting it in the first place, so I appreciate the ability to unroot easily with Kingosoft.

Just as a clarification:
You have 4.4.2, rooted with that method, and it didn't trip the Knox counter?
As far as I understand it, there is currently no way to root a 4.4.2 Note 3 which doesn't trip Knox. There is some trickery where you can attain root on 4.4.2 without tripping Knox using Mobile Odin Pro, but that process requires that you to start on 4.3.

Oh crap, I didn't know you have 4.4.2. Sorry, Kingo won't work with Kit Kat.
I have 4.3.
Once your are on 4.4.2, there is currently no way to root it without tripping the KNOX. There are several ways to root but all will trigger the KNOX flag.

Thanks for your posting and info. Read it and you go into a lot of detail.
I guess I am too lazy to try to go through so many steps to root. I personally am looking for a program that will Root without all the additional things to download and install, etc. Until that program is identified, I will remain Stock and unRooted. Personally I am not worried about tripping Knox as I keep my phones for 1 year then pass them down to wife or kids when I upgrade.

I am not worried about tripping KNOX. Is there one program like Kingo Android Root that I used on my Note 2 to Root the Note 3? If so, please let us know what it is. Thanks!
Look up CF-Auto-Root. That is a more simplified way to root. My way is if you are also looking to add a custom recovery.

That procedure is not complex. Install TWRP and it installs SuperSU as a bonus. The deterrant for some people, I think, is the need to use Odin to install TWRP. Maybe they will get that problem with GooApp fixed and TWRP installation will get easier. But if Odin is the problem then CF-Auto-Root is the same.

Don't mean to be stupid, however, CF-Auto-Root has many different versions such as:
1. hite-hitexx-smn9005
2. t03g-to3gxx-9tn7100
3. mo-moxx-fti9300
all of which are ZIP files.
I have Model SM-n900T using Android 4.4.2 T-Mobile Stock.
Does it matter which one of the three above that I would use?
I ASS U ME that I would use 1 since it is 9005?
Thanks for all your help. Maybe I am beyond help. LOL

1 is correct that is the model of your phone. *Actually SM-N9005 is the international model and sm-n900t is the tmobile variant but it should work*
If you just want root then CF auto root is good. If you are planning on adding a custom recovery or ROM I would recommend following the root options provided in the link a few comments above.

FFTony: Thank you very much for your suggestions. I have flashed roms on many of my previous phones and tried so many that it got to the point that I was flashing daily and returning back to stock. I do customize my Note 3 and have done so on many of my other phones. So, I think I will just root to uninstall bloatware. Some of the apks that I use are:
Android Assistant,
Calendar Status
Clean Master
Dolphin Browser Mini
EvernoteGo SMS Pro
HD Widgets
Kingsoft Office
MXPlayer
n7Player
Next Launcher
QuickPic
Swipe Home Button
Swipe Dialer Pro
Tunein Radio Pro
Various News Apks (News360 my favorite)
Titanium Backup Pro (when rooted and on my Note 2)
Just to name a few.
Tried many more but go back to these favorites.
So, Thank again!!!!
You are welcome. I was never into rooting until I purchased the note 3 and this is a phone that is a must to root if you want to take full advantage of all that it can do. I am also glad to give back to this community that helped me learn so much.

Totally agree with your comments regarding this community. They have helped me over the years, too.
I Unzip CF-Auto-Root and now have the following files:
TMAX.dll
Zlib.dll
ODIN3-V3.07.Exe
Odin3.ini
CF-Auto-Root-hite-hitexx-smn9005.tar.md5
Where do I go from here? I assume that I would connect my Note3 via USB and execute ODIN3-V3.07.exe.
All these unzipped files are in one folder.
Thanks again!

Yes, open Odin place the .tar file in the PDA section. Make sure you do not check any boxes on the left. The only ones that should be checked is auto reboot and F. Reset Time. Then hit start.
This conversation is growing silly, I don't know to fault the carriers, manufactures, Google, or us the consumers. This is stupid. It's our device we shouldn't need to do all this to gain certain features. I wouldn't need root if you stop putting all this bull ish on my device, restricting r/w to external sd etc just pathetic. I'm not worried about tripping KNOX, I pushed her down on purpose !

Agree! So, what is your suggestion?
Did anyone tried triangle away to reset knox counter to 0x0? I juste want to make sure it can be reset before rooting and losing my warranty. Or maybe someone knows a better way to reset knox
Post is in wrong format.
How can i change the format of my post please? And which format does it has to be? This is my first time getting a wrong format message. Thanks for the help
Youve set up a Q&A voting thread.
Next time create a thread with the default option, no need to check the Q&A box. These posts are only viewable in a browser.
Will not work. Triangle away was for reseting the unofficial flash count on older sammy devices. Chainfire issued a statement years ago when dealing with the s4 and note 3. The best thing you can do without causing harm to anyone is ask your supplier if rooting would void the warranty. I live in Europe and we can root and still be under warranty.
Here is the thread which states which devices triangle away works on

I have been searching for a few days and can't seem to find any available method to root this build number. It's my own fault for accepting the most recent update, I should have known better. If anyone knows of a root method for this build I would love to know how to do it.
from where have you downloaded N910AUCU2DOI3
Latest update from AT&T through system update.
At this time there is none. There likely will never be permanent root for this device, either. Best hope is for a future update of KingRoot to come that gives a very buggy temp-root.

For get about going to AT&T they will tell you your warranty is void and that your phone is permanantly hard bricked and all they do is lie to you so you can purchase a new device. I finally restored my device by installing official firmware that you can download free from sammobil.com via odin 3.10.6 they will give you a complete guide. and the correct download links for the proper tools needed to complete the job NOTE: this worked for me its not a hundred percent sure that it will work for you. Please note and understand that you can do this at YOUR OWNE RISK I will not take responsibility for any damage that you may do to your device by using this method and there is a possibility if you dont do it right you can hard brick your phone PERMANENTLY!!!!!!! proceed at your owne risk if you try to blame me for damages to your phone i will laugh at you HARD!!!

You CANNOT unlock our bootloader and DO NOT ask XDA. Googling it will not result in anything useful either.
Our bootloader is still not able to be unlocked and thus Googling for an answer will only bring up scams, false information, or just no results.

Not sure if you're referring to unlocking the bootloader still or about fixing the soft brick caused by Kingroot. Either way, the reason why no one answered you here on XDA is because both questions are asked at least every other week by people who either can't use the search function or just don't even try to. We here in the XDA community are more than happy to help noobs, but if we see the EXACT same questions being asked over and over again, then we will begin to ignore them since the answers are readily available already.

Yes, for our phones- since there is no possibility to root and thus no risk of doing very serious software damage- Odin is usually the cure-all for most problems. You can find the latest available Odin file in our phone's thread, and use Google to find tutorials on how to use Odin itself.

"Our bootloader" ... "our phones" You make it sound as if you're a rep or employee of AT&T. And if so then wth is so wrong with simply allowing people root access to the phones they bought n own? I understand stupid people with powerful tools make powerful stupid mistakes. But smart people who can fix their own few mistakes would still greatly appreciate being allowed to adjust the phone to drastically increase efficency, or at least remove the bloated optimization cap.
Or those who want root so that they can utilize a form of genuine location and privacy protection. To choose whether or not the app they haven't used in weeks still needs to run in the background all the time or still check your location.
Idk... I'll step off my soap box now. Maybe I'll just say screw it and swap the note 4 for another rootable note 3. Since my straight talk phone service is reliant on the AT&T tower near me for any service.

1) That post was made back in 2016. That was over 2 years ago!!! Why did you necro such an old thread? The last post made here was Dec 5, 2016.
2) I no longer have the n910a. Got rid of it a long time ago
3) I do not, nor never have worked for ATT nor am affiliated with them in any way.
4) When I used the word "our" I was referring to the fact that I too owned the n910a. So "our phone" obviously meant "my n910a and everyone else's" and same for the "our bootloader"
5) At the time of my post, root was not available for rhe n910a AT ALL. (If I recall, a temporary root eventually became available though, but it reset everytime you restarted your phone). On a daily basis, people were asking whether root was available or not and people were getting sick of answering the same question over and over again when the answer fould easily be found through a simple search here on XDA.
There were also scams going on at the time BECAUSE this was such a popular topic. Websites claimed to give walkthroughs on how to root your n910a, but all they really did was brick your phone. Kingroot was one of them.
